 Well, here we are... Chicago Marathon Weekend 2017 has finally arrived. I can recall when I signed up for this marathon back in the cold and dreary parts of winter. I signed up with a wonderful charity organization, Oasis for Orphans - wanting to dedicate my run to a cause that both myself and my Mom are (were) very passionate about - CHILDREN. My heart was in a very low place...little to zero motivation for anything in life, missing my mom so much, and I just knew this was NOT what the Lord had for me. So, I woke up, researched charities that I would be honored to be a part of...and signed up. The organization was so excited for my efforts and I could just feel the love abounding. It was an AWESOME feeling. Since that moment, my life received yet another curve ball, and my heart stooped even lower (when I was not even sure that was possible). Motivation...lost. Marathon...hopeless. Me...basically existing...most certainly not LIVING. And now, here I sit, the early morning of Friday, October 6th, 2017...the morning of the Marathon Expo...and I reflect.
